Protect your skin in winter – our top tips

This time of year can really take its toll on our skin. We are reminded about the importance of using sun protection during the summer months but often forget the impact cold harsh winds and central heating can have.

Skin feels tight and often looks dull, flaky and tired. Take a look at our tips to caring for your skin during winter…

Invest in a great moisturiser and night cream

Combat these weather changes with a richer moisturiser and invest in a good night cream. External elements can lead to capillary damage so protect with strengthening/anti-inflammatory products with UV protection. Serums applied beneath your moisturiser can help to recharge your skin and provide further protection.

Care for your skin with a weekly hydrating mask

Apply a weekly cream mask to rehydrate and rejuvenate the skin, restoring lustre and condition.

Adjust your heating

Central heating can have a massive impact on your skin. To avoid dryness caused by central heating systems, install a humidifier in your home and office to ensure that moisture is evenly distributed throughout your surroundings.

Exfoliate to keep skin clean and free from dead skin cells

For maximum effect ensure you exfoliate on a regular basis(weekly) to eliminate the surface dead skin cells. This allows for products to penetrate more effectively helping to maintain a smooth clear complexion

Treat yourself to a microdermabrasion facial

Treat yourself to a professional Skinbase Microdermabrasion treatment at your nearest salon. Ultra fine crystals are jetted on to the skin to exfoliate the top layer away. Skin feels incredibly clean and silky soft. Benefits can be felt after one treatment but a short course of 3 is a fantastic booster this time of year for a truly polished and rejuvenated complexion.
